Matt and Dan discuss what to order at Yum Cha. They also speak of other things good, true and beautiful, jumping off their previous episode on Theology and focusing on the spiritual life of parishes, the fundamental building block of most Catholics' spiritual lives.

They explain and speak of the centrality of missionary discipleship for the local community of faith, and in so doing, bust a big myth about what parishes are meant to do.

They also declare that Asians make bad hymns good, and demonstrate why Catholics should get off the sacramental treadmill, and challenge us all to do more than simply "get on with the program".

Catholic Archdiocese of Melbourne: Missionary Discipleship

In this episode, Dan incurs Matt's jealousy by discussing his favourite dim sum, and also laying claim to all things Asian.

They also discuss other steamy goods like theology. They define what it is, what it is not, and what good it does to us intellectually, pastorally and spiritually. They also discuss why Catholics (Asian or otherwise) should care and reflect theologically in order to better engage with the reality, time and space in which they live, as well as deepen their relationship with Jesus.

SPOILER ALERT: They also talk about why one cannot think their way to salvation.
